RATED T+
For reason or another comic book fans seem to be sleeping on this Avengers run. I'm here to wake everyone up to tell them, this is a must read. Jed McKay is writing an acton packed series filled with battles, fun and very human and believeable characters. When you least expect it, a plot thread from 3 arcs ago is picked up with perfect timing. Read Full Review

This issue is full of McKayisms, which I would have loved to see explored, but sadly, it does not do a great job at it. Like a lot of the characters used do not get a moment to shine, actually pretty much nobody does, and it looks like the dephs that i came to associate with his writing on the title is gone, and here there is nothing that valuable in its place. The issue is like an example of an issue of Mckay but done in the worst way possible.
It seems like it builds to be an underdog story about Sam vs the new masters, which is cool, but also quite flat, cos i don't really see the contrasts between Sam and the masters. As we don't see much of the madness or the personal motivations of the master for their evil deed or at leas more
Bad writing, horrible artwork.
